Walk a few cards through the whole pipeline.

Encode three cards into one composite, place it at a locus, and recall by decoding.

* Take one slot from each of three cards — Person, Action, Object — to build the composite you place at a locus. *

Deal A♠, 7♥, K♦. With your system (A♠→Bond as person, 7♥→surfing as action, K♦→cake as object):

1. Encode: Bond surfing on a giant cake.
2. Place: stage it crashing through your front door (locus 1).
3. Recall: at the front door you see Bond (→ A♠) surfing (→ 7♥) on a cake (→ K♦).

The next three cards become the next composite at locus 2. Repeat to the end of the deck.
